i have nearly 20 years of experience in operations and development (including information retrieval / search) and it took me a good 30 solid days of staring at this stuff with a dumb look on my face before i could wrap my head around the basics of how to do something even remotely useful in this ecosystem (torch/tf, huggingface, langchain, openai, vector dbs for embeddings, all of the ancillary python modules, CUDA, basic linear algebra, etc).

in addition to pure dev and ops people, i can see how a tool like this could be useful for prompt engineers, product people, prototype / spec / doc authors, and others who aren't necessarily going to be involved directly in the nitty gritty of things writing production code or MLops.
